Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration Report: Annual Report 2012-13 (Working in the UK)
The Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration, John Vine, has published his fifth Annual Report.
Key points concerning working in the UK were as follows:
- An inspection of entrepreneur and investor applications under Tier 1 of Points Based System identified that applications were taking eight times longer to be decided in Sheffield than overseas.
- A backlog of 9,000 entrepreneur and investor applications had also developed, which had not been anticipated by the Home Office.
- Decisions on investor applications were reasonable for the majority of cases but over a third of entrepreneur cases were unreasonable. Adequate records of decisions had not been kept in more than two-fifths of the files examined.
